Body cords are what connect fencers to the strip and scoring machines, and are an essential to any fencing bout.

Under-arm protectors keep fencers from being injured by broken weapons during bouts. Next to the jacket and the mask, this is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment in fencing.

Floor cables are another type of cord, one that links the electrical scoring machine to the reels, and then to each fencers' weapon. The more cables we have, the more strips we can set up, and we the more fencing we can do!

Fencing wouldn't be much of a sport without the swords! These blades often fall into disrepair after repeated use and need to be replaced. Currently, we're looking to purchase more working blades to meet the team's needs.

Lamés are the conductive vests worn by foil and sabre fencers to register when a point lands on the target. However, over time, these lamés corrode and no longer conduct, meaning that points no longer register properly. To ensure fair scoring, we're looking to replace our non-conductive lamés.

For sabre fencers, the lamé is a long-sleeve jacket as their target covers the entire upper-half of their body. We've received an influx of new sabre fencers interested in this discipline of fencing, so we're looking to purchase more for club use.

The scoring machine is the central device that registers when a fencer has made contact with their opponent. Reels are used to connect the fencer and their weapon to the scoring machine so that the machine knows when a fencer has made contact. We are looking to replace some of our reels and a faulty scoring machine as well. A donation of $350 will cover the cost of one scoring machine or one reel (a full fencing strip consists of one scoring machine and two reels).
